I found these little gems over at Recipe Girl.The cookie part is like a shortbread and the filling is a light peppermint fudge cream. They were really good, they truly only lasted a day in my house. I didn't even give these away; hubby & I ate them all. Bad girl! Having just one made you want to have another one, then another, and another. Bad I know, but geez they were good. I know a lot of people are like that with potato chips, having one is hard. Well, I'm like that with anything chocolate and mint.
The next time I make these I want to add a peanut butter fudge in the middle with a peanut butter shortbread. Doesn't that sound good?
What's your favorite food combo that you just can't eat one of, be it sweet or salty?

Hmmm, together it is either chocolate and peanut butter or chocolate and caramel. But if I have anything salty I have to finish with chocolate. So when I make popcorn, believe me-there is a Hershey bar nearby!

Hmm.. I never thought about a favourite flavour combo. I actually prefer it when things are separate and everytime I see one of your creative combinations, I'm so impressed. But if I have to choose, I would say chocolate and caramel

Dawn! Chocolate and mint, chocolate and PB, two of my favorite combos! These cookies look FABULOUS. Man oh man, I wish I had some of these to snack on right now. Yes, snack on. I want to pop these like potato chips (great comparison, by the way). Can't wait to see your choco/pb version!

Boy oh boy these look so good. Love that creamy center! I have a cornbeef in my frige waiting to be cooked then I will use the leftovers to make some of those Irish Eggs benedicts you were talking about. Do you make your own cornbeef hash- recipe? My hubby did the detox and weaned himself off the coffee. He drinks a pot a day and avoided a headache by weaning. He drank herbal tea instead. The detox is over and I am sure he went back to his old ways- go figure?!

Absolutely jaw dropping stuff! I have never heard of thumb-print cookies. Its a really neat idea. i'll have to try these soon. Will you block me from visiting your blog if I told you that I am not a big fan of chocolate-peanut butter combo? I like this blog though :)

as far as flavor combinations go, mint and chocolate is pretty high on the list. in fact, chocolate and just about anything is on my list. good grief, what if i suddenly became allergic to chocolate? i would die.

My husband is a big thin mint fan and would love these. Me, I can't resist anything salty with garlic. Chips, pasta, bread, shrimp scampi, etc. There are several brands of crackers I refuse to bring into the house because I know they'll be eaten in one sitting.
